Recenzii
[A] succinct, well informed discussion of the martial ethos of ruling elites in the Western world since Greek antiquity . War and Peace in the Western Political Imagination will appeal to political theorists, philosophers, and theologians.
This is a valuable work of political thought, a subject that tends to place insufficient weight on such issues. Manning's sound knowledge of texts and his skillful use of them deserve considerable praise.
[An] important achievement in its ambition to trace peace thinking through the ages . Manning's book is full of interesting observations and learned reflections. It is a pleasure to read . [This] is a timely volume which should find its place in any syllabus on peace, or on war, for that matter.
In this smart and tightly argued book Professor Manning offers a compelling explanation for why war and a martial ethos became so entrenched in the western imagination since antiquity, and why a peace alternative had such difficulty taking hold, at least until the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Anyone interested in learning about the history of war and peace ideas will find this well-researched and richly contextualized work indispensable.
An important work on a crucial aspect of political thought. Manning ranges widely to offer a coherent, interesting and engaged account. Deserves much attention.
The intelligent observer of current world tensions can neither avoid hearing nebulous phrases such as "holy war" and "just war," nor fully understand a discussion of limited war given the unquestioned acceptance of a temporally unbound war on terror. This book, whose appearance may be adventitious, is nevertheless indispensable by providing a cogent historical context for understanding how Western thinkers-from the ancient through the early modern periods-conceptualized war and peace. Manning (emer., history, Cleveland State Univ.) accomplishes this in what is (mostly) a chronological narrative of the conflicts themselves, as well as a discussion of how Western intellectuals thought about violence (intrastate and interstate). The author discusses every major political thinker, from Hesiod through Kant, with a view toward understanding the development of each thinker's ideas through his interaction with contemporaneous conflicts, other intellectuals, and an understanding of past wars. As an example of the latter, Manning argues that Hobbes developed his analysis of how and why societies go to war from translating Thucydides's Peloponnesian War. The author's reliance on both primary and secondary sources, coupled with a scholarly and balanced perspective, goes a long way towards contextualizing current political rhetoric. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
